Succotash Shut-In

Succotash Clips Epi190

Succotash, the Comedy Soundcast Soundcast, was launched in 2011 with the idea of promoting comedy soundcasts in what was then a marketplace still trying to find its way. By featuring short clips of shows being produced by funny folks both known and unknown, we like to feel that we maybe had a little tiny, eeny weeny, itsy bitsy bit to do with helping to ignite the torch of soundcasts across the globe! (But then we've always had a rather high opinion of ourselves...)

Original show host and executive producer Marc Hershon, along with booth announcer Bill Heywatt, engineer/producer Joe Paulino, associate producer Tyson Saner, musical director Scott Carvey, and booth assistant Kenny Durgis have kept the flame alive o'er these many years. In 2018, Hershon abandoned the host chair and anointed Saner to the position, with nary a notice from the legions of listeners. Typical.

Saluton,
estas mi Tyson Saner. Welcome to
Succotash, the Comedy Soundcast Soundcast. Thank you for
making us your destination listening for this next interval in your
existence. With all the available choices you have to choose from
as far as doundcasts go - or "podcasts" as many people still refer
to them - you chose us, and it is an honor.

So much
to listen to, so little…uh…well, really there's as much time as
there is, isn't there? So let's crack on!

CLIPS

My Best
Break-UpSometimes,
the best beginnings start with an ending. Reese
Witherspoon and Hello Sunshine bring you My
Best Break-Up, hosted by the charming Maeve
Higgins and featuring a different break-up story each
week. Our clips features Hannah Gadsby, from a
recent episode where she explains her deep unease with success,
coupled with the invisibility she often felt as a queer, autistic
woman. She's made a conscious decision to view the world in a new
way - without a filter of shame.

Broadway
BabyJoin
host Kimberly Schmidt and her husband
Jay as they try to transform their friend
Alex Fossella from casual theater goer to full-out
fan boy. The clip we're featuring is from the show's pilot, where
Kimberly and Jay explain Alex's first homework assignment: The cast
album from Hair.

Mega
This soundcast is an improvised satire from the staff of a
fictional mega church. Starringshow creators
Holly Laurent and Greg Hess as
hosts Hallie and Gray, the clip we have is this past January and
guest stars Edgar Blackmon (Alone
Together, Popstar) as Edward Blackthorn who's talking
sports, Game of Thrones, and falling in
love.

Gilbert Gottfried's
Amazing Colossal PodcastEvery
episode of GGACP, host, comedian and actor Gilbert
Gottfried, along with co-host and fellow pop culture
fanatic Frank Santopadre, welcomes an astounding
guest from the business of show. Our clip from a recent episode
features guest Joel Grey, talking about being Joel
Grey!

Fear
InitiativeA
weekly horror role-playing game podcast, Fear Initiative
features Game Master David Ian McKendry as he
takes players Morgan Peter Brown, Cara
Mandel, Jeff Seidman, Megan
Duffy, Rob Schrab, Josh
Forbes and Clarke Wolfe on a weekly
horror inspired RPG adventure. Our clip is from the very first
episode from August of last year, when the FI crew comes
together seemingly by accident, meeting late one night at a
tavern.

Cracked
on and gone: one more episode of Succotash. Thank you so
much for listening to us. I hope you have been entertained...and
maybe you've got another soundcast or two to seek out and listen to
more episodes of that you hadn't previously been aware of…so then I
can say that at the very least you've been informed in some way...
specifically that there's a whole world of soundcasts out there in
a world (that still mostly calls them podcasts as of this
point in history.)

What
our show, this "Comedy Soundcast Soundcast" is doing, is saying:
"Try this, you might like it in larger amounts" and then letting
you decide. We also interview some of those people when they are
willing and able. We here at Succotash are empathetic with
those who create content and understand the time it takes to make
it all happen. So, if you do enjoy our content, why not share it
with others so that they also might have a few more choices
presented to them in easily consumed and, presumably, digestible
portions? (To keep the food metaphor going...)

So
again, thank you for listening and if you wouldn't mind taking a
little time out to rate and review us on iTunes we'd be forever
grateful because in addition to telling others about us, the iTunes
rating is another form of "word of mouth" that might even land us a
real sponsor someday... one can dream.
